Goal

He could see the marker in the distance--
The one sure sign he had taken the right path.
His eye unyielding stayed his course,
But his feet would sometimes stray from right.

Ultimately, he passed before he reached his goal...
But angels carried his legacy on.
With help from one on high, he came upon the marker,
Took it for his own, and laid down a new one for others to follow.
